Hurricane season runs from the beginning of June through to the end of November. The most active month being September. With the potential for severe weather situations, we suggest putting together a supplies kit to make sure you and your family are prepared in the event of an emergency.

Use this list as a starting point, and then think about any additional needs of your family. If you have infants, pets, or seniors in the family, they may require unique supplies beyond what is included in this list.

This is a powerful, multi-purpose tool that can be used as a flashlight, to charge phones, and to jump start your car

Road maps

Full tank of gas

Personal Care

Wipes, garbage bags, and personal hygiene items

Glasses and contact lens solution

A change of clothing

Be aware of your climate as well as the weather conditions. Include a sturdy pair of shoes.

Blankets

First aid kit

Prescription medications

and non-prescription medications such as pain reliever or antacids

Documents

Important documents

Save electronically or in a water proof container

Cash and change

Make a plan with your family for what to do in the event of an emergency. Make sure everyone in the family knows where the supply kit is, and that it is easily accessible and portable so you can easily take it with you as needed.

Read these articles by Ready.gov and National Geographic for more tips on how to be prepared and safe before, during, and after a hurricane.

For those of you who don’t know me I’m Adrian Avena, and I’m a professional angler on the Bass Pro Tour and sponsored ambassador for Weego. After receiving my business degree from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA, I pursued a career in professional bass fishing. Over the last eight years I’ve had the opportunity to compete in three of the world’s largest circuits.

Yes, we’re about to tell you a whole lot of stuff you don’t want to hear – but don’t look away just yet! We’re not here to say you can’t ride with Fido sitting shotgun – we just want to keep you both safe while he sits pretty and gazes excitedly at the world zooming by.

Winter is a dangerous time of year for traveling, and checking in on the weather becomes an important habit before venturing outside. Knowing what the hell these people are talking about can get confusing in the jargon, so we highlighted some of the most important winter weather terms to know. Below we define the different types of precipitation, storms, and advisories you can expect to hear throughout the season.

After the holidays we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of winter, where temperatures drop to their ultimate lows and road conditions frequently become questionable at best. While you’re on the road and exposing yourself to certain cold-weather risks, there are a few compelling reasons to equip your car (and that of your loved ones!) with a Weego Jump Starter:

It’s no coincidence your car battery seems to struggle more during the winter months – cold has a significant effect on a battery’s ability to generate power. To understand why, you first should know the very basics of how a battery works.

The jump packs of the past have always utilized lead-acid batteries, but the jump packs of the future are turning to lithium-ion batteries for their ability to deliver the same amount of power in a much smaller and lighter product. Here are some of the ways these two different batteries stack up to one another:

There’s a lot of confusion regarding jump starter specifications and what kind of power they are capable of delivering. Different batteries have different standards – you can’t take the parameters for a lead-acid battery and apply them to a lithium-ion for an apples-to-apples comparison. Each battery serves a different purpose and each battery has different chemical limitations. The main ratings we’ll focus on are Cranking Amps (CA), Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), Starting Amps and Peak Amps

When you’re stuck with a dead battery, the most common tool you reach for is traditional jumper cables – those archaic, complicated, and incredibly risky things that have been sitting in your trunk since you bought your car.
